Rim Size Options

[94st_santos]

Im planning on getting rims at the beginning of summer, theyre the Enkei RSV's my only problem now is deciding what size. I either want to go with 16's or 17's. If yall could post pics of both and comments of the ride of a 16 or 17 inch rim.

the 17" rims fit perfectly on our cars from what ive heard

17" look best. IMO. I think most people agree...

I like 18s the best.

i like 44" the best lol actually 17"s

17's are nice they fill the wheel well fully and are big enough to look nice and not sacrifice performance that much

What about acceleration? My engine already has trouble accelerating would 16 to 17 make a difference or would that only be effected by 18's and 19's.

negligible, honestly. I mean, technically speaking, yeah smaller rims are going to slightly increase your acceleration, and larger ones will slightly increase top speed. But we're talking a daily driver, not a formula 1 car. That's like choosing what spoiler to get based on which gives the most down force... Suffice to say, go with whatever you think looks best.

personally i like the 17s best but you will get a slightly better ride (most likely) on the 16s due to larger tires. but if you are going to get new rims it is mostly for cosmetic reasons. i think 17s look best on our car and 18s are just too big. but i think 16s will look decent. i think the stock 7th gen gt has 16s (correct me if i am wrong). but i like those. look good and not too ricey.
it all really comes down to what look you want
